May Craft Club

Next Craft Club is Tuesday 7th May at Atlantis Books from 5.30 to 7.30pm.

We'll be papercrafting and card making this month: Nicky will lead us in the art of iris folding, which is a simple way of using folded strips of paper but looks amazing! We've done it before and everyone's been thrilled with what they've made; so long as you can fold paper and do some basic counting, you'll be fine!

Here's some Nicky made earlier

Some of our previous Craft Club attempts - don't they look fab?

Bring along any paper you want to use - craft paper or sturdy gift wrap, which holds a fold, works well. We'll have supplies for those who need them, including card blanks, but craft mats, scissors and glue are always handy to have!

Please email lwewicraftclub@gmail.com if you plan to come, so we know to expect you; we can only fit 10 in, so need to know numbers in advance. Also email us for more information if you haven't come before and want to know more!

As ever tea, coffee and delicious biscuits will be served.

April Craft Club - What We Made

This month we made lots of little hats for Innocent smoothie bottles, which will all help raise money for Age UK as part of the Big Knit campaign. 

Our more experienced members produced octopi, sheep and mugs, while the rest of us were excited to be taught to purl! Thanks to Jane and Jayne for being so patient with the beginners in the group!

Next month we're card-making, with a spot of iris folding. Details coming soon!
